Why do I need an appellate attorney? Can my trial attorney handle the appeal?

Video Transcription:

You do need an appellate attorney to handle your appeal. In the best case scenario we will work with your trial attorney and give your trial attorney a chance to review the briefs and drafts of all of our motions, that way you have the full support of someone who is focused on presenting the case in the light most favorable to your position and the appellate court along with the support of a trial attorney.
